Through our studies we've come to understand the atmospheric environment in new and often surprising ways. We study how elements in the landscape modify the different components of the microclimate, and how the microclimate affects the thermal comfort of people. By integrating these landscape architects can design environments that modify the microclimate to create thermally comfortable outdoor environments.

Wei,Li,Associate Professor,"Dr. Wei Li is Associate Professor of Urban Planning. He is committed to research, education, and service activities that lead to smart solutions for challenges faced by underserved communities and underprivileged populations. He has published numerous high-impact journal articles in the field of transportation and urban planning. In 2019, he received the Distinguished Achievement Award (University Level) from Texas A&M University and the Association of Former Students. Since 1955, the Distinguished Achievement Awards have been awarded to those who exhibit the highest standards of excellence at Texas A&M.
Dr. Li is the Founding Director of ENDEAVR Institute (www.endeavr.city), a 501c3 public charity dedicated to bringing smart-city technologies to small communities and underprivileged populations. His work has been recognized nationally (2021 W.K. Kellogg Award for Exemplary Community Engagement) and internationally (2021 Smart 50 Award).
Dr. Li has successfully obtained funding support from various agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Google Inc., W.M. Keck Foundation, and state departments of transportation. His NSF-funded project explored the behavioral impact of public transit. That was the first time that planners used confidential census microdata to examine behavioral changes caused by new transportation infrastructure. Dr. Li's team has developed innovative methods to analyze these data and evaluate the impact of public transit on individuals' travel and firms' locational behavior. In March 2018, he received an NIH R01 grant (as one of three Principal Investigators) to evaluate the health and behavior impact of bus rapid transit.
Dr. Li teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in urban planning, with an emphasis on smart and connected communities. He has designed and implemented numerous service-learning projects and has made significant curriculum changes to transportation planning courses (e.g., creating online courses) at Texas A&M.
Dr. Li has served as a reviewer for NSF and more than 20 reputable journals.

This not only provides a more efficient approach to treatment, it is particularly relevant to health disparities. I am especially interested in how these trans-disease processes interact with family, social, and psychological factors to increase engagement in health-related risk behaviors, and the development of appropriate prevention and intervention tools that can be used to improve health outcomes in youth.

Kenneth Anderson,Taylor,Assistant Professor of the Practice,"Dr. Taylor's primary faculty responsibilities encompass leading consulting capstone seminars for graduate students within the Bush School, and teaching a variety of nonprofit management and leadership theory courses. Dr. Taylor also serves as co-faculty within the Agricultural Leadership and Development program (TAMU College of Agriculture & Life Sciences), and annually accompanies students to Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece to explore the variety of leadership models as a scholarly discipline via personal experiences. Per his Center for Nonprofits & Philanthropy duties, Dr. Taylor enjoys working in Texas and beyond with nonprofit and public service organizations. In doing so, he truly gets to utilize his former experience as a nonprofit executive in developing individuals, organizations, and the ever-growing social ecosystem.",Assistant Professor of the Practice||Director of Outreach and Professional Development||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design||Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy||Public Service and Administration,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/ncf40885c

Allison,Hopkins,Assistant Professor,"Dr. Hopkins is a medical and ecological anthropologist specializing in interdisciplinary research on the connections between globalization and/or social relationships and human health. Specifically, she focuses on understanding the knowledge people have about local resources, how that knowledge relates to their behavior, what factors are associated with variation in their knowledge and behavior, and ultimately how that relates to health. She researches these issues in varying contexts, with different populations, types of knowledge and factors at play. Additionally, the theoretical and methodological approaches she uses are varied and depend on the research question and the strengths of the research team. For example, Hopkins is collaborating with colleagues on a study focused on smoking relapse prevention. She is using social network theory and methods to capture the composition and changes in the social networks of recently quit smokers in the United States, how their networks relate to their ability to stay quit, and how information on smoking cessation spreads through their networks. Most recently Dr. Hopkins started a mixed-methods project guided theoretical by cognitive anthropology to examine the conditions under which different models of social change, including educational models, are effective at reducing poverty and increasing wellbeing and food sovereignty in the Yucatan.",Assistant Professor||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design||Anthropology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nd78cbf7f

Thomas,Ferris,Associate Professor,"Dr. Ferris' research interests are in Human Factors and Cognitive Ergonomics, and can be described as the study of cognition in human-machine engineered systems. His primary focus involves human information processing and design to support attention and interruption management. In particular, he investigates novel interface design techniques, employing alternative display modalities such as the sense of touch. Other research interests include human error, decision making under time pressure, and human-automation interaction. He has interest and experience in applying his research to the domains of medicine (anesthesiology), military operations (command and control, UV control and operations), aviation (cockpit automation, air traffic control), and ground transportation.",Faculty affiliate||Courtesy Assoc Prof||Director||Faculty Fellow||Associate Professor||Faculty affiliate,Center for Health Systems and Design||Center for Health Organization Transformation||Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems||Industrial and Systems Engineering||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation||Environmental and Occupational Health,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nfbc434c2
